Charlotte两起枪击案重罪犯被定罪：Kenneth Fuller持弹药两项罪名成立、每项最高15年
位于北卡罗来纳州的 Charlotte 联邦陪审团裁定，43 岁的当地男子 Kenneth Fuller 两项重罪犯持有弹药罪名成立。美国北卡罗来纳西区检察官 Russ Ferguson 宣布了这一裁决，案件由地区法官 Kenneth D. Bell 主持，审判历时三天。
据法庭证据，Fuller 于 2024 年 12 月 20 日凌晨在 Charlotte 一家 Waffle House 餐厅与店员发生争执。他声称自己付多了钱、要求退款，随后向空中开了一枪，再返回其黑色 Maserati 轿车离开。Charlotte-Mecklenburg 警局人员在现场草地找到一枚 .40 S&W 口径的空弹壳。
约两周后的 2025 年 1 月 3 日，Fuller 在 Charlotte 的 Market Express 便利店再次与店员因餐点订单争吵后离开，当天上午约 7 时 10 分驾车返回，向一名店员连开两枪后逃离。警方在现场找到两枚 .40 S&W 空弹壳，店门左侧窗玻璃上有两处弹孔。
2025 年 1 月 13 日，Fuller 在同一辆黑色 Maserati 的驾驶座上被捕。审判证据显示，两起案件现场提取的弹壳均出自同一支枪。Fuller 在北卡罗来纳州有多项重罪前科，包括贩卖可卡因，依法不得持有枪支或弹药。
检察官 Russ Ferguson 表示，Fuller 在有员工和顾客在场的情况下向两家商户开枪，危及无辜者生命。烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局（ATF）特别探员主管 Alicia Jones 表示，执法部门将继续追究此类危及公共安全的行为。此案由 ATF 与 Charlotte-Mecklenburg 警局联合调查，北卡罗来纳西区联邦检察官办公室起诉。

Charlotte Felon Convicted in Two Shooting Cases: Kenneth Fuller Faces Up to 15 Years Per Count for Possessing Ammunition
A federal jury in Charlotte, North Carolina, has convicted Kenneth Fuller, 43, of Charlotte, on two counts of possession of ammunition by a convicted felon, U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson for the Western District of North Carolina announced. U.S. District Judge Kenneth D. Bell presided over the three-day trial.
According to trial evidence, on December 20, 2024, Fuller argued with employees at a Waffle House in Charlotte, claiming he had paid too much and demanding a refund, then fired a handgun into the air before returning to his black Maserati sedan and driving off. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officers recovered a single discharged .40 S&W caliber casing in the grass at the scene.
About two weeks later, on January 3, 2025, Fuller argued with employees over a food order at the Market Express in Charlotte and left, then returned in the same black Maserati at about 7:10 a.m. and fired two times at one of the store employees before fleeing. Officers recovered two .40 S&W shell casings and found two bullet holes in the windowpane to the left of the store's door.
Fuller was arrested on January 13, 2025, seated in the driver's seat of the same black Maserati. Trial evidence showed the casings from both incidents were fired from the same firearm. Fuller has multiple prior felony convictions in North Carolina, including for distribution of cocaine, and is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition.
U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson said Fuller shot into two businesses while employees and patrons were present, endangering innocent life. ATF Special Agent in Charge Alicia Jones said law enforcement partners will continue to hold accountable those whose behavior puts the community at risk. The case was investigated by the ATF and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Charlotte.
Fuller faces a statutory sentence of up to 15 years in federal prison per count. A sentencing date has not been set. (Source: U.S. Department of Justice)
